Once upon a time, I used to do recaps of survival shows on this blog. I had so much fun covering Season 2 of Produce 101, and I enjoyed doing like one episode of The Unit and Mix Nine before I went on my first unexpected hiatus. Since I want to transition into making moreContinue reading “Road To Kingdom Recap Prep: Get to Know the Groups”

MIX NINE Episode 1 Recap: The Agency Tour Begins
Forgive my word play, but I’ve had a pretty mixed reaction to Mix Nine so far. On one hand, I like the idea of shining the spotlight on relatively unknown artists. I’ve been involved in the entertainment industry for most of my life and I never got a “big break,” so I really appreciate what these peopleContinue reading “MIX NINE Episode 1 Recap: The Agency Tour Begins”
THE UNIT Episode 1 Recap: A Chance to Start Fresh
There are certain groups every K-pop fan knows about: the top stars, the “legends,” the “super rookies,” etc. But for each one that you’ve heard of, there are probably three that you haven’t. K-pop is filled with groups struggling to make their mark, from freshly debuted rookies to five-year veterans who never found their groove.Continue reading “THE UNIT Episode 1 Recap: A Chance to Start Fresh”
Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 11 Recap: I Hope I Get It
(I’ve been waiting three months to use that A Chorus Line reference) I’ve finally made it to the end! Well the show finished like a month ago…but besides me just being slow, I think I’ve needed this long to process the final results. Season 1 was fun, but Season 2 took me on a roller-coaster ride ofContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 11 Recap: I Hope I Get It”
Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 10 Recap: Voters are Pretty Unpredictable
This season has had some very interesting and stressful eliminations. I really don’t remember Season 1 being like this! It always seemed like the rankings were pretty logical every week, with the girls’ actions pretty much corresponding to their level of popularity. I was still nervous for the finale, but it was pretty easy to guess whoContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 10 Recap: Voters are Pretty Unpredictable”
Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: All About the Concept
The trainees have come a long way! A lot of them looked very green in the beginning, but now many could be idols ready to debut. All three evaluations are interesting, but I think that the concept evaluation is especially noteworthy because they’re no longer doing covers. Because they have original material, they can reallyContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 9 Recap: All About the Concept”
Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 8 Recap: So Many Twists and Turns
I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers for the final episode before I can watch a subbed version, so suffice it to say this weekend was hard. In an effort to curb my curiosity, I’m committing myself to finishing all my recaps. And for those of you who are catching up, there’s still plenty of dramaContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 8 Recap: So Many Twists and Turns”
Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: The One Where Everyone Wants to be Center
I’m not exaggerating: six out of seven groups we see tonight will discuss who is center to some degree. And almost half of them will have much more than a talk. I certainly understand why everyone wants to be center, but I forgot how vicious it gets sometimes. Drama aside, this episode has some reallyContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 7 Recap: The One Where Everyone Wants to be Center”
Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 6 Recap: Choose Carefully
The position evaluation is probably my favorite part of the competition. It’s the point where many potential favorites start to shine. We start to have a sense of who these trainees are and who we want in the final group. Up until now, I haven’t had my own version of the Top 11. I hadContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 6 Recap: Choose Carefully”
Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 5 Recap: First Eliminations
A few short months ago, many people (myself included) were a little skeptical of this new season of Produce 101. But now the male version is popular beyond a doubt: 24,690,000 votes were counted for this first round of eliminations! You know it’s trendy when the votes total half the population of South Korea. NowContinue reading “Produce 101 Season 2 Episode 5 Recap: First Eliminations”
